'The book is a key resource for understanding digital spaces as a growing conducive context for sexual violence, the old and new forms of abuse it enables and the challenges in addressing it.'
Liz Kelly, Professor of Sexualised Violence, London Metropolitan University, UK
'The centrality of gender and sexuality in understanding everyday forms of digital violations are richly described in this book as well as its lucid analysis of the online textual abuse of feminists, upskirting and revenge pornography. It clearly makes the case for addressing digital gender-sexual violations in public spaces, organisations and workplaces while suggesting changes to the legislative frameworks to end such violations. The book is essential reading for understanding how gender, sexuality and violence manifests on the Internet and through digital and mobile technologies.'
Professor Deevia Bhana, DSI/NRF South African Research Chair, University of KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa
'Providing readers with an up-to-date and comprehensive analysis of how online technologies are used to perpetrate digital gender-sexual violations, this book offers valuable empirical insights and suggestions for change. This valuable new book provides a comprehensive analysis of how online tech is being used to perpetrate digital gender-sexual violations. It is a must-read for everyone seeking to understand and challenge these abuses.'
Professor Clare McGlynn QC (Hon), Durham Law School, Durham University, UK
'Bringing together the myriad of existing and emerging forms of sexual violations in the digital world is no easy task - the authors of this book expertly bring together the multiple levels of interaction and media to provide a holistic understanding to this important field. Upskirting, revenge pornography, the online abuse of feminists, deepfakes, cyberflashing, spycamming - all forms of sexual violations that have sadly emerged during the first part of the 21st century. This book brings together what we know so far, providing an expert analysis of victim and survivor experiences as well as perpetrator motivations. Difficult but essential reading for those involved in preventing or responding to men's violences against women in the digital world.'
Nicole Westmarland, Professor of Criminology, Durham University, UK
'This volume is an indispensable reading for anyone who would like to understand contemporary forms of Digital Gender-Sexual Violations. As much as social media technologies have been formatting and reconfiguring our lives in so many different respects, they have also been widening the spectrum of how sexual violations can be and how they are performed. The authors take a long history of feminist research on sexual violence up to date as well as show how porn is a driver in online violence and how this is conflated with IRL actions. Based upon a wide range of empirical examples, they are giving us robust evidence why feminist interventions are truly needed.'
